It was 2:30 when the flight arrived and both Darshan and Natasha were eagerly waiting for Revu. Revu royally ignoring Natasha through out their car journey back to home and Darshan was enjoying their cute behavior.
To break the ice between them Natasha said, " Revu listen I am sorry. Atleast don't give me this cold treatment, shout at me or scold I can bear that but just stop behaving like this. I have been talking to you but you are straight away ignoring me. See I know I should have told you every thing but I didn't want you to get in any trouble. I am sorry. Please talk to your chechi. Please." 'Don't make that puppy face I am not talking to you. I am here because my friend Darshan has seeked my help to help his friend. That's all nothing more than that nothing less than that, saying this again Revu again started ignoring her. Natasha couldn't handle the fact that and she started crying and seeing her cry Revu said, " Look at you what you have done. You didn't want me to get into trouble and what if something would have happened to you. Only I know how worried I was. Who locks up and sits in house for one week. God forbid if something would happened to you than just imagine the condition of all of us. But no you are you. You will do what you want and then sit and cry seeking forgiveness." Natasha didn't know how to react so she thought to sit quite for some time.
After reaching home she made Revu's favorite pasta and waited till both Darshan and Revu finished it silently. She said sorry to both of them again and this time around Revu smiled and said, " Promise me chechi from now on come whatever you will share every thing with me" Natasha nodded her head and gave her a warm smile. After a while darshan left tobhis home leaving both sisters together.
Next day was a very busy day for Natasha and Darshan. He already had talked to his friends about this case and was waiting for any further clue. Natasha in order divert her mind went to Nat's cafe with Revu.
Meher was waiting for them and she instantly bonded with Revu. She also told that Mrs Verma had contacted her to fix an appointment with Natasha and she will be there any time soon.
After finishing their orders for the day, they were about to leave for lunch when Mrs Verma arrived. So Natasha told Meher to go with Revu and have lunch and pack something for her on their way back to cafe.
Mrs Verma told that she is keeping a surprise party for her niece who is turning 26 and also on the same day her niece's childhood sweet heart is planning to propose her. So it's a double celebration and she wants two cakes matching the theme. Natasha took quick notes of what Mrs Verma wanted and gave her a rough sketch of cakes. Mrs Verma was quite happy and suggested some changes which Natasha happily accomodated in the design. She told she wanted the cake on coming Saturday and fixed the time of delivery too and then she left.
Meanwhile Darshan called Natasha that his friend who works as a private investigator has found some clues and wants them to come to Nanital on Sunday. Natasha was soo happy and relieved that finally she is going to meet her sister sooner or later. After calling of days work both Revu and Natasha went home and Natasha told that son Sunday they will be leaving for Nanital to find Ish. Revu squeaked in happiness and asked if Darshan too is joining them. Natasha nodded her head with a smile. She didn't know why she was smiling but nowadays she liked being around him.
It was Saturday and after finishing the work on Mrs Verma's cake, both Revu and Natasha planned to deliver it personally. There she met the same girl, whom she had met when she had gone to deliver Mrs Verma's daughters birthday cake. She was revealed to be Amaira.
Amaira Mehra was an aspiring designer and was working in Paris. She only visited India with her parents during this time of year to celebrate her birthday and her cousins birthday. Amaira was a cool girl and she bonded instantly with everyone and thanked Natasha for making her such a lovely cake. She also introduced her to Neil Sighania her best friend, whom Natasha presumed to be her boyfriend who was going to proposed her. To be frank she had a instant disliking towards that guy. He was totally different compared to sweetly natured Amaira.
Neil too on other hand didn't like Natasha and was trying to avoid conversation with her. The only thing he asked her after Amaira left was" Is the other cake ready that Mrs Verma placed order for? I hope it's good enough and she says yes. " Natasha didn't like the tone in which he said this and said "she will say yes if she likes you there's nothing that a cake could change". He was about to snap at her when the lights went out and suddenly a very familiar soothing voice reached everyone's ears, happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you. Some guests were screaming when the spotlight turned to the centre of the hall and that voice was revealed to be Darshans. He was invited by Amaira's parents.
Neil almost grunted under his breath,"what is he doing here". There was something about his behavior that Natasha hated and she was sure Amaira will reject him. Amaira on the other hand ran towards Darshan and hugged him tightly. Her proximity towards Darshan troubled Natasha when she saw him hugging her back. Revu could sense her chechi and said, " Chechi is something burning somewhere? Is that your feeling towards him". What the... I don't have any damn feelings about him. It's not me, look at that Neil guy he is fuming,said Natasha pointing towards Neil. Both Revu and Natasha had a hearty laugh.
They were about to leave when Amaira said, they should wait and enjoy the party with them after all she is her friend now. Natasha tried a lot to excuse herself but Amaira was adamant and didn't hear to Natasha's excuses and finally Natasha gave in.
Since Darshan was there all his girl fans were telling him to sing songs and he happy obliged. Natasha truly enjoyed all the song. Darshan too was giving her special attention while singing those songs.
Revu could see Natasha blushing at times and she said, " Chechi you know what, I think he likes you? " "Me. Who? Said Natasha startled coming out of her thoughts. " Annoyed at her question Revu said,"Hmm Gerald Buttler". Hain where is he? Said confused Natasha. Revu chuckled at her sisters reaction and said, "exactly where is he. I was talking about Darshan. I think he likes you. The way he looks at you, the way he cares for you and the way he was worried for you. I am sure he is in love with you".Natasha though knew there was something beyond friendship between them. But she was not ready for this shock as there was hell lot of difference between them. Hence she was worried to take this any further which may cause a heart break eventually.
After the cake cutting Natasha and Revu started to leave when they saw Darshan and Amaira coming towards them. Darshan and Amaira were apparently childhood buddies and he was meeting her after a very long time. Darshan came towards Natasha and said all of sudden with naughty smile in his face, "lady are you following me". Natasha glared at him and said, "In your dreams. Why would I follow you". Amaira found both of them too sweet. Darshan told Natasha that his friend has found out some clue about her sister and he wants her to personally come to Nanital and validate it.
Natasha thanked Darshan for his help. Natasha told she will take leave since she has to book tickets for tomorrow, but Darshan told her not to worry about the tickets he had booked their tickets and they were going tomorrow. Only hotel booking was left which he will do it once they reach there. Amaira said there's no need to book hotel room and they could stay at their holiday home in Nanital. She told her she will do needful arrangements before they reached there.
Natasha was so moved by her this gesture she hugged her and said her thankyou. It was only matter of hours that she had met Amaira but this girl really knows how to keep others happy.
At the same time an announcement made in the hall again. This time it was Neil. Natasha really wanted to know if Amaira will accept his proposal. She mentally prayed for her to reject it because she thought Amaira deserves someone better.
Neil said,"Ladies and gentlemen.Today our dear Amaira turned 26. I and Amaira have been friends from childhood. From petty fights, to late night movies she has been my partner in crime. In between all these years I don't know when I fell for her. I have loved her and will always love her till end of my life. So today on her birthday, saying this he came near Amaira and bend over his knees and asked Amaira, " Will you be mine forever Amaira, I promise you to take care of you always. Please say yes." The crowd was saying "Say yes! Say yes! Natasha's mind was saying Say no! Say no! And Amaira said, "Oh shit!! This is some sort of prank right Neil. I always thought we were friends and I didn't see this coming. Please tell me this ain't true". Neil had a tinge of tear in his eyes and to save his pride he said "you caught me babes. I really thought you will say yes". The whole crowd had hearty laugh only Natasha and Revu knew that it wasn't a prank and they both said in unison, " Man!!! He is something ".
